<Tim>•9/28/22, 7:59 PM

just use a loop to ask for input multiple times

Loops can be done via

for

for

or with jump labels in batch

If it's only A and B you can do this:

choice /c:AB /n > nul 2>&1

choice /c:AB /n > nul 2>&1

anic17OP•10/6/22, 7:23 PM

remove the 3 ifs

anic17OP•10/6/22, 7:23 PM

they're not needed as choice won't allow other characters

<Tim>

<Tim>•10/6/22, 8:44 PM

you need to check for 0 and 255 or have a default case tho, because the user can abort choice using CTRL + C

Haha ^^
always assume you're dealing with the DAU (german for dümmster anzunehmender user = dumbest possible user, idk what the English term for it is if any exists) tho, so just make an exit in this case or something like that ^^

curl is a command line program that lets you transfer data through protocols

Einar145

E

Einar145•10/8/22, 6:39 AM

it supports many many protocols

Einar145

E

Einar145•10/8/22, 6:39 AM

including http(s)

Einar145

E

Einar145•10/8/22, 6:40 AM

well i guess look for the response/status code

Einar145

E

Einar145•10/8/22, 6:41 AM

if its not 200, then display an error

Einar145

E

Einar145•10/8/22, 6:42 AM

get curl to output into an environment variable maybe?

Einar145

E

Einar145•10/8/22, 6:46 AM

to get just the status code you can use this
curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" https://www.google.com/curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" https://www.google.com/

@echo off
set /p link="Enter URL: "
for /f %%i in ('curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%%{http_code}" %link%') do set RES=%%i
echo status code : %RES%
if "%RES%" neq "200" (
    echo error
) else (
    echo success
)
pause

@echo off
set /p link="Enter URL: "
for /f %%i in ('curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%%{http_code}" %link%') do set RES=%%i
echo status code : %RES%
if "%RES%" neq "200" (
    echo error
) else (
    echo success
)
pause

this was my solution btw

@echo off
set /p link="Enter URL: "
for /f %%i in ('curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%%{http_code}" %link%') do set RES=%%i
echo status code : %RES%
if "%RES%" neq "200" (
    echo error
) else (
    echo success
)
pause

@echo off
set /p link="Enter URL: "
for /f %%i in ('curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%%{http_code}" %link%') do set RES=%%i
echo status code : %RES%
if "%RES%" neq "200" (
    echo error
) else (
    echo success
)
pause
